    Sad that 2500 died. They were sufficiently warned. Idiots that think they know better are going to idiot. For some reason people think a Cat 1 or 2 is no big deal. The surge and flooding is what usually gets them. Being a Florida native, I know what I'm talking about.

    "Fake news has a fraternal twin brother in fake weather. “If it bleeds, it leads,” is the cliché that all-too accurately describes local TV news. The corollary for weather reporting is” “If it blows, it shows.”"

    Fake News sensationalism kills. When people see the media blowing things out of proportion they "blow off the warnings". The media shares a lot of blame for deaths in hurricanes because they are for the most part the "boy who cried wolf". At some point............which is NOW.............no one believes their BS anymore.

    Obama's hurricanes were Chris Christie's fault.

    Fake News. Now Fake Weather.

    Weather Channel reporter Mike Seidel was shooting a live segment in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Friday as winds barreled around him

    But as he braces his feet in the grass, two men stroll not to far behind him and make it look as if the weather isn't truly that bad

    The Weather Channel released a statement after the video went viral, claiming that 'exhaustion' and difference in surface contributed to the distinction​

    Liars!

    The pictures of Coopers are lies. Not Cooper's lies, the troll right's lies. Those were images during Ike, back in 2008. They were taken right by my home town, right near Highway 62. Please look at what actually happened in Bridge City instead of spreading this fake news.

    While you are at it, try asking yourself something: if your sources will lie about this, what else are they lying about?

    What difference does it make WHAT hurricane it was? It's evidence of the media and Cooper making up crap, in effect lying. That idiot in the left corner right frame just happened. It was on ET just two nights ago. They interviewed the black actress from Shameless showing her a clip of it. She was laughing her ass off.

    The only thing that it is evidence of is that the troll right can count on gullible drones to not understand what high ground is and that they are willing to lie about anything to try to "own the libs," even if it means capitalizing on the misfortune of my friends and neighbors.

    But, hey, the one in the bottom right was a legit complaint, so I guess congrats on the meme only being 3/4ths vomit-worthy propaganda.

    Except it's not if you actually read the bible man put on earth with their free will to decide. Anyone saying God "made' them do something is against the very point. Satan sure, god know, he can guide and influence events, he god won't control a person and make them do things.

    It's one thing not to believe in something, its another thing to not believe in something than pretend you know about it.

    My issue with "Climate Change" is that it was a direct response to falling temperatures in areas of the world where it wasn't common, and picked up even more usage after the D.C. snowstorm. But Global Warming is still a term that's used because the belief is that the weather is doing this because of rising "temperatures". But by looking at their own heat maps, if we are in a state of emergency regarding "planetary warming" these snow storms by default should not be possible. Remember when the ice caps were melting then they found out the ice caps grew?

    I mean they didn't really try to make it believable, first it was we were going to freeze to death, then, we are going to burn to death, now, things are getting so hot you could burn or freeze(???) to death.

    Well, to be fair many people did fall for it. Must be something in the water.

    After reading the article 3 different times, I see no where there is a comment for the hurricane being blamed on anyone. The statements are made that policies of the climate change deniers are complicit with the weather and it's affect.
    Nowhere was the statement you made ever said in the article.
    The headline of your post is misleading.

    Sorry...........but a video of Anderson standing in a ditch while everyone is strolling down the street is typical fake news and par for the course. :roflol::roflol:

    You act like we never see hurricanes here in Florida. :roflol:

    He's standing on low ground near Hwy 62 in Bridge City. And this was when the waters were receding.

    Yeah, a knocked over chair and trash can are totally the same as a town where nearly everyone's home was completely gutted by floodwaters.

    Take it up with FAKE NEWS. The more the media blows these things out of proportion (as seen in that meme), the less people are apt to take precautions and leave town. Sorry, but you and the media own this.

    We had a thread like this before, making the same silly claims based on this same fake news response to real stories.

    The original story is merely pointing out that Trump supports policies that may be making hurricanes more powerful and/or more frequent. That's not blaming the Dunce for this hurricane.

    Fake news didn't destroy most of the homes in Bridge City. A ****ing hurricane did.

    Only 1/4 of the images showed anything taken out of proportion. The other three were of Cooper in Bridge City, where most homes were destroyed.

    Houses can't leave town.

    Sorry, but you got caught helping spread actual fake news and are now trying to cover for it. It isn't even a decent try.

    Congrats on trying to shift the attention to the 1/4 of the images that I already said was legit. How about the other 3/4? You know, the fake news you are helping spread.

    All partisan whining aside....anyone actively standing in the way of any and all laws and policies meant to ameliorate climate change is, in fact, part of the problem.

    nice leap. Nope not all real christians. In fact I'd say most trumpettes aren't real christians in any way shape or form.
